Abstract:

Lipid-soluble components in the roots of Codonopsis pilosula were extracted with supercritical carbon dioxide, and the effects of material particle size, extraction pressure and temperature and length of extraction on the yields of crude extract and total saponins were investigated. The optimum conditions for the extraction of lipid-soluble components were determined to be: material particle size 380-250μm, extraction pressure 30 MPa, carbon dioxide flow rate 2 L/min and length of extraction 2 h. Under these optimum conditions, the yields of crude extract and total saponins were 1.11% and 2.23‰, respectively.
